False. The average interest rate on the U.S. federal debt is approximately 3.3% as of the most recent data from late 2024 and early 2025. According to the U.S. Department of the Treasury and other sources, the average interest rate on the total marketable national debt was reported at 3.28% as of December 31, 2024, and 3.3% in October 2024, with similar figures cited in other reports. While rates have risen significantly in recent years, they have not reached 3.6% on average for the total federal debt.
